April 25, 2010: On the Board at Good Life Yoga
Introspection
Studying yourself on the mat is a hallmark of the practice. You watch closely where you place your feet. You observe thoughts and register emotions. You make good choices based on what you are feeling, and how your body is at the moment. Stepping into the quiet of your mind and body is not an easy task for some and a welcome relief for others. This week at Good Life Yoga we will encourage a quiet, steady practice that allows you to step inside yourself.
The deeper you go into the quiet, the more you are able to observe. In a pose with silence all around, you can more easily hear your breath and sense the energy moving through you. There is nowhere else to be. You find the calm center of yourself and sit in a grand seat of observation. Expect steady holdings, hip openers and breath work this week. It’ll be good to be ‘home.’
